I have been trying to add a domain to my CentOS Web Panel using custom name servers.
But every time I do I just get a domain cant be reached error.
Here are the steps i have already taken -
I have already created the custom name servers with my domain provider.
I have tried using DigitalOceans NS and my custom ones.
Any help would be appreciated. :D
Hi @GSYWebsites
It would help a great deal more if you would write your domain, but looking at your other posts here in the forum, I’m guessing it’s the gsywebsites.ml
When I run the command dig gsywebsites.ml NS it says it’s using DigitalOcean’s name servers.
So until you change name servers to your own servers, then making changes in the Web Panel actually not have any effect.
Hi sorry for the delayed reply. I am actually trying to add two more domains. paneltest.ml and paneltest.ga . I have one configured to my custom name servers and one set to DigitalOceans name servers. The only problem is that they do not resolve.
My custom name servers are ns1.gsywebsites.ml and ns2.gsywebsites.ml if thats any help.
I’m getting status: SERVFAIL on both paneltest.ml and paneltest.ga.
So I would say something is wrong at the registrar.
And I’m not seeing any A records on nsX.gsywebsites.ml so if the paneltest domains are using that as their name servers, then they’ll never resolve.
May I ask, why do you want to run your own DNS ?
I’m looking to set up a small hosting company. So having my own DNS would look more professional. Also one of the paneltest domains is using DigitalOceans DNS so I’m not sure what the issue is here.
@GSYWebsites
Okay, have a look at this tutorial about using DigitalOcean’s name servers, but with branding:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-vanity-or-branded-nameservers-with-digitalocean-cloud-servers
Something is not registered correctly with the registrar, so it looks like the domains are not even active or registered yet - or the domain host master behind ML/GA is having problems.
Hi @hansen
My domain now has the correct NS and goes to the correct IP as you can see here http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools#dnsReport|type=domain&&value=paneltest.ml
However, when I open the URL in my browser it still says that the DNS Address could not be found.
@GSYWebsites
That’s not what I’m seeing, when I do a dig paneltest.ml NS or check external sites:

If you changed it within the last 48 hours, then you need to wait.
@GSYWebsites And you need to add the domain paneltest.ml in DigitalOcean’s control panel and create A records to whatever server you want to point it at.
Thanks so much @hansen This has solved my issues :D Thanks for all the help.
